It wasn't just the goblins — is J.K. Rowling doing Holocaust denial now? - eviltoast

The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

    Totally agree with all of that. But I think the disagreement is based on what you think a liberal is. She is a New Labourite through and through.

    British transphobia is as prevalent amongst middle-class, white liberals (centrists) as it is on the right; I’d say that they started it here.

    Writers for The Guardian (US) wrote a letter protesting that bastion of liberalism’s transphobic stance: Why we take issue with the Guardian’s stance on trans rights in the UK.

    The political dividing line here is very, very different to that in the US.
